For everyone that searching this for TPF2, the name is in deutsch: "Spitzkehre +++".

Hallo hier auch gleich die nächste anfrage zu TF2.

Wird es die Mod auch bei TF2 geben ???

Is it supposed to go down at one end? The 'zig zag' does not stay on the same level from one end to another.

I haven’t downloaded the mod yet but does this have a underground option

can it be use to drop cargo?

Thanks for the GREAT little Zig-zag. How a 'small' item can add a lot to a Big Game.

Hi tom.thumbstone
Am I missing something but unable connect more than 2 Zig Zag stations

Fehle ich etwas, aber kann nicht mehr als 2 Zig Zag-Stationen verbinden Sorry google Translate

wo finde ich denn diese spitzkehre ?
hab den mod zwar aboniert, aber ich weiß nicht, wo das ding ist !

I would love to see a similar mod where I can use a station like this as a rail station. I'd like to build industrial railways that go directly in a factory (or at least very close to them).

Tom can we have the same but with no stopper, that is so we can add track to both ends, this way we could use it for our rail depots to add fake trains

Thank you

Fix for "usability patch" released...

it crashed the game when placing with the option "2 tracks" selected saying "terminals not connected"

@fmccurry, there will be a customized version...

Love this mod.
But, it crashes game with latest patch.
Thank you

Aaach ja, macht man ja bei einer passagier linie b1 b2 b3 und wieder zu b2 und b1 auch nich anders, danke

@Tommy1995 [GER]: Deine Strecke ist also B1 - S1 - S2 - S3 - B2, wobei Bn = Bahnhof und Sn jeweils eine Spitzkehre. Dann musst Du im Linien-Manager die Linie wie folgt definieren:
B1 - S1 - S2 - S3 - B2 - S3 - S2 - S1.

Wie funktionier das? I habe oben auf ein plateau ein bahnhof und unten, dazwischen drei spitzkehren. Wenn ich eine linie zur ersten spitzkehre führe sieht man die pfeile noch, ab der zweiten nicht mehr. Hab dann einen versuch gemacht mit bahnhof -> spitzkehre -> bahnhof, geht aber auch nicht

Danke, obtimal für meine Rangierbahnhöfe

when are we going to see a station that can curve?

Really useful thing !

Sehr Praktisch, wäre mit verschiedenen größen aber noch praktischer :P

@tom.thumbstone thanks for your reply and contributions. I look forward for your next creation.

@rage2014: I've done this for a cargo station in Train Fever (see https://www.transportfever.net/filebase/index.php/Entry/1478-Wegpunkt-G%C3%BCterbahnhof/) and could do the same for passenger and cargo stations in Transport Fever. But i'm too busy with the development of other stations...

@tom.thumbstone +1 to Alt-Ctrl idea. It will make a great mod for custom stations. I tried to add the code for this, I managed to make the street and the connection but I did not managed to get people or cargo to use it. I believe I am missing the knowledge to setup the internal station traffic lines for cargo/passenger.

@Alt-Ctrl: No, it dosn't work like a real station. No Cargo and no passengers can enter or leave a train. It has no street connections and lanes for this purpose...

This works like a real station,right? Can you make one for passengers too?
Then we can make our "own" stations with the buildings that I hope wil come to the workshop soon :D

@SongSungBlue, it works great with symmetrical trains, it will keep a realistic looking for an uphill zig zag.

It works for the game but its as un realistic as the trains turning around.thumbs up on the idea however.

@ETS2 Nick [US]: You're right, you can only change the direction in a station. And this is a little station with a length of 20 meters. You can have one or two tracks. When using two tracks for crossing trains, you can use signals or waypoints to direct the trains to the tracks to avoid deadlocks...

To: tom.thumbstone. To answer your question, maybe you did. In the game we do have waypoints that can help to direct where the trains go (I/E Which station platform, ect) but this is different BECAUSE IT IS A STATION! You (at least to my knowledge) CANNOT make this switchback without placing a station where the trains (in real life would have to reverse) turn around and continue up or down the mountain. Waypoints are limited in their capabilities so I do not think that placing waypoints on the switchback sidings will work.

Danke!

@[Nr49] Robert: A waypoint for which purpose? To change the direction? No, or I missed something...

Can't you just put a wapoint in the end of the track?

@SirLANsalot: Nobody forces you to use our mods. Feel free and go somewhere else...

was like Zig Zag? WTF, there called Switchbacks, a name more recognized by most people. Also, TransportFever.net is a German site, so no one is really going to go there unless they magically start all using English LOL. Even if the site has an English mode, the mods posted there still won't be.

Still, cool mod, and good idea.

You made my day. Thanks for the contribution!

super...mitgedacht...!!!

@tom.thumbstone: Thank you for the reply and the help. I'd actually made 2 really stupid mistakes. 1, I forgot to reload my game with the mod added on. 2, I was looking in the wrong place to find the switchback. However, it's all now up and running and has allowed me to complete my lines. Thank you so very much, this mod has changed my game completley!! Amazing!

@sgcouk: You place the switchback at one end of a track. The track must be long enough for the train to reverse direction. On the other end of the track you place a turnout. Finally you at the reversing station to your line...

This would be perfect for me, except for one small thing. I have no idea how to get it to work... Please, someone help...

Amazing

I have to tell you right now that is awesome. This system was used on a narrowgauge railway in another video game.

Geile Mod! Danke!

@Kelaz: Lade sie dir herunter und lass dich überraschen. Oder schau das verlinkte Video...

Sehr nice! Die kennt man ja noch aus Trainfever.
Ist die diesmal denn ohne Straßenanschluss? Bei TF konnte der ja leider nicht entfernt werden.

This is brilliant. It opens so many options!

sehr nice, das eröffnet ganz neue möglichkeiten =)
Dankeschön!!

Das ist eine feine Sache,Dankeschön !
